Wednesday

Imperial War Museum. Don't worry, these planes aren't really flying around.

Wednesday we met in front of our hotel 9.30. We went to the Imperial War Museum, where there was an exhibition about several wars. Especially the exhibition about the holocaust made a big impact on almost everyone. It was very interesting to see how Hitler and his soldiers worked, killed and treated the Jews and anyone that was different.
After that, we went to the National Portrait Gallery and St. Martin in the Fields. It was filled with big old paintings and it wasn’t that interesting. People left quickly again. After all, Pizza Hut is more exciting than a painting of an old man with a wig. They were good painters back then, but it isn’t a place we would go to see again.
Then we had our lunch break, where some of us went home to the hotel to get more clothes, because we were going to see Tottenham vs. Stoke play in the evening.

The music students paid a visit to the British Music experience. It’s a great world of music history expressed in images, movies, games and much more. It was a noisy atmosphere, and unfortunately it was a disappointment to us. It felt like that the experience was primarily focusing on a younger audience. The French kids in the interactive studio made the atmosphere noisy and chaotic, and they made it hard to focus. The idea of such a musical universe is great, but the audience is not really us.

2 pm: Lars disappeared.

We met up with our media classmates at 3 pm, where we were going to see the famous TV-station BBC. When we got there, we were checked to see if we had any weapons or something, almost like in the airport. Luckily we all left our explosives back at the hotel that day.

BBC - sport studio.

We had two guides at the BBC, a man and a woman with a squeeky voice. They told us that there were about 5000 people working at the BBC. They have many, many channels and we got to see three of the massive studios. It was really exciting to see, and overall it was a great experience to see how people at the station worked and how big it actually is. We will definitely recommend it to others.

Going to the football match. Nathalie pointing on Mathias' chest. Mathias touching his own chest. Normal.

After the BBC a group of us went to see football. It was Tottenham-Stoke who played that night. We met up with a couple of boys from 2.F and it was a amazing. There were about 40.000 people at the match and the noise was incredible. We think that everyone should go and experience an English football match, because it is so far from Danish football, not only is it more physical but also the crowd and the mute. Unfortunately Tottenham didn’t win. The match ended 1-1.

Tottenham-Stoke.

5 am: This is where Lars decided to come back. Now we could all sleep.
